Reviewed from notes.
Can to becher glass.
Appearance: amber color with some transparency about it and a one and a half fingers of white foamy head which slid off nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: citrusy and piney hops with a clean malt base
Flavor: seems to follow through from the aromas as it shows it's bittersweet mentality to how the beer tastes; finishes piney bitter and with some of the malts
Texture: light to medium bodied; sessionable; some smoothness with some dryness
Overall: it works as an APA, I believe I could return to this.

Can, 0.355l. Aroma is citrusy, piney and grainy. Pours clear amber color with thin soapy off-white head, fair lacing and sparkling appearance. Taste starts refreshing piney and herbal, following is bready and faint citrusy, mouthfeel is crisp and dry, while finish is prettybitter. Light to medium body, slick texture and lively carbonation in palate. Palefresher…

Copper colour with lasting soapy head. Very malty but with a resinous hoppy note too. Really smooth. Could drink this by the litre.

Can of Beer drunk while pan-browning potatoes boiled with baking soda. Chestnut amber, huge head, clear. Citrus peel & pine nose, flavor is more of the same, smooth with pretty fat bitterness and a nice caramel note. Big flavor and body for only 5.5%, tasty one. A bit more bitterness than the usual Pale, approaching IPA territory here.
